We've been shooting Standard Definition and HDV for the last year. It's funny for a guy who used to shoot on small form cameras because it was what we could shoot on at the time (Hi8, Super 8, etc.) to be shooting on a small form camera and it's what people are now shooting on.
If you want to know more about how to use different cameras for shooting and production, check out www.onlineuniversities.net for some photography and film production classes.
We used to make fun of all these production pictures of us with big crews and small cameras. Suddenly were back to small form cameras.
The thought that Technicolor used to be running three strips of film at the same time for Red, Blue and Green compared to the CMOS technology thats in a 7D or the Micro Thirds technology where the Lense is bigger than the body it's an interesting time.
After years of sporadically being in production it's interesting now being in production for the last year just doing ENG stuff how much much were moving back into production.
Very similar to my injury 10 years ago where I realized Wow! if I dont get physically active again its going to get harder to come back. I realize that's the case now with shooting and production.
We're entering a very productive time for us. The only thing holding us back from publishing a TO OF CONTENT is the editing.
That being said I am going to back to editing after a short writing break...
FINAL THOUGHTS: My buddy Von Ware and I have discussed this often but HDSLR's will definitely be a game changer for us. Just watch...
We will be publishing a lot of the old stuff and the new stuff side by side so just keep that in mind...
